Our homeschool group went on a fun field trip to a local apple orchard. It was a glorious fall day and we were all delighted to be outside together!
One of the owners of this farm that has been in her family for over a hundred years read the children a story about the life cycle of an apple seed.
Then each child was invited to pick five apples each.
The trees were small and the apples large!
We went on a wonderful Hay Ride together. Our whole group could fit and the moms had a great time talking and chatting and seeing the beautiful farm sights on such a pretty morning.
Like these hogs which we could smell before we could see!
Then the kids picked their own little pumpkin from the patch.
This orchard has a busy produce market and is well known locally for its spectacular playground. The Moms and Dads ( uncle Trent was able to join us!), purchased some Apple Cider Donuts made fresh that morning and continued to visit under a large pavilion while watching the kids play with their friends. We all had so much fun, we agreed that one of the best parts of homeschooling is the fabulous field trips we go on. There must be a market for putting on field trips for moms whose kids go to school!
